Accounting for Sustainability

Who we are

Founded by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2004, A4S exists to make sustainable decision making business as usual. 

We work with the whole finance system – from the capital markets, accounting community, and CFOs and their teams, to academia, regulators, and policymakers – to create the overarching frameworks and transform organizational decision making to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. We focus on the end-to-end finance system because it underpins corporate behaviour and acts as a lever for change. 

Over 17 years we have developed a unique combination of formidable convening power and technical credibility, capturing the hearts and minds of finance leaders from around the world. We inspire them to act and equip them with the tools, approaches, and confidence necessary to drive a fundamental shift towards resilient business models and a sustainable economy.
